@Source: news.com.au
Australians Zivan Radmanovic and Sanar Ghanim were shot shortly after midnight on June 13 at a villa in Bali’s south, in what is suspected to be linked to the Melbourne underworld crime syndicate. Mr Radmanovic died at the scene and Mr Ghanim suffered injuries to his leg. After a five-day manhunt for the alleged “executers”, three men, Midolmore Pasa Tupou, 27, Darcy Francesco Jenson, 27, and Mevlut Coskun, 22, were arrested in connection to the shooting. Bali Police Chief Inspector General Daniel Adityajaya told reporters on Thursday the alleged crime was “well organised”. Inspector General Adityajaya alleged the trio, known as the Bali 3, had “planned the act (for) quite long”, accusing them of playing key roles in the alleged murder. He alleged 27-year-old Jenson was the mastermind of the attack, booking the villa where the shooting occurred, and supplying the tools, including a hammer to break into the villa. He is also accused of providing transportation for the other alleged offenders, renting a white Toyota Fortuner and a Suzuki XL7, as well as purchasing ferry tickets from Java to Bali. Police allege 22-year-old Coskun and 26-year-old Tupou were the shooters in the attack, with Tupou reportedly purchasing the firearm and disposing of a motorbike used as a getaway vehicle. Coskun is alleged to have helped dispose of the vehicle and purchased clothing for the attack. During the investigation into the alleged murder, police recovered several pieces of evidence in the villa, including two bullet fragments, six bullet casings and 38 bullet shards. Police also claimed to have found the gun used in the alleged attack, which was dumped alongside two magazines with bullets and an empty magazine in a river in Tabanan about 700m from the villa. In a press conference on Thursday, police showed off the weapon in an evidence bag, as well as the sledgehammer allegedly used to break and enter the villa. Police were able to identify the trio by tracking the purchase of the sledgehammer to a store, later linking them to their hired getaway vehicles. Police are yet to establish a motive behind the alleged attack, however believe the men have links to the Melbourne underworld. “We are still investigating their motive and continue cross-checking the facts,” Inspector General Adityajaya said. If the trio are charged and convicted under Article 340, they could face the death penalty.
